R packages that can be used in Shiny typically provide simple methods of escaping html. For example, in rHandsonTable, kable, rFullCalendar you simply set a escape flag to true or false. Please provide an option to escape html in rPivotTable.
Thank you.

Example:

df <- data.frame(Col1 = c("<b>Cat</b>","Dog","<b>Ferret</b>"), Col2 = c(1,2,3), Col3 = c("a","b","b"))

rpivotTable(df,rows = c("Col2"),cols = c("Col3"),vals = "Col1",aggregatorName = "Last",rendererName = "Table")

The underlying Javascript library doesn’t allow this, so the htmlwidget will not be able to do much here.

Thank you for a quick response. Are there any workarounds?

The HTML output is reasonably clean and well-annotated with CSS classes so you may be able to use CSS to style certain parts of the table.
